Yes you are right, you can get 200bhp from Cavalier GSI's. I own a Carlton GSI 3000 and had a Lotus Carlton engine fitted 100bhp nitrous 20ich rims and that runs at 520 bhp which will kill scooby vaux rules.

Some carefully placed sticker will give you even more horsepower.
<br>It works for the Rally teams, doesn't it?

sulli you obviously aint got a clue have you, standard gsi has 150 bhp a cam can lift that 25% polishing porting and flowing further 8-10bhp, s,s exhaust another 10bhp that alone puts it at 200+bhp, come one do the math before you go slaggin off.
